A Mass Timber Unit that Redefines Possibility

September 2025 —–
September 2025 POTM

Nestled in San Diego, the Tetra I by Polythaus stands as a striking proof of concept: a 540 sq. foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) originating from an innovative approach to housing design and construction efficiency. Co-founded by Daniel Lopez-Perez and Celine Vargas, Polyhaus was launched with a simple but ambitious mission to accelerate housing supply growth using a patented rapid-construction system that scales beautifully and sustainably. From the earliest stages, Tetra I Polyhaus was protected with Sansin Precision Coat KP-12, a durable penetrating coating designed to protect exposed mass timber during the construction phase. Inside, the cross laminated timber, supplied by Vaagen Timbers is finished with PC Glacier Gloss, a crystal-clear finish, followed by a final sheen of PC Glacier Low Luster. Sansin was applied to balance the natural beauty of the wood with a durable surface, offering long lasting protection.
